Choosing a contractor



When it comes to repairing your home or property, you want to choose a contractor that will properly serve your needs. Contractors are people too, and some people stand out - for better and for worse!



GT Construction provides residential and commercial roof repair services





Occasionally, our homes need repairs - whether that be from normal wear and tear or from unfortunate, unavoidable damage.


Choosing a contractor can be a tricky task, so we put together a list of things to remember and to prioritize.



The good, the bad, and the ugly:




The good

While these items are a good starting point, they are not going to be 100% accurate. Contractors come in all shapes and sizes. A family owned business that started decades before Google may not put much priority into good reviews, a fancy website, or advertising. That doesn't mean they don't do great work!

The bad

Just like when we go to the doctor, there's a reason why we're seeking professional help when calling a contractor: we are looking to fix a problem that is outside our realm of understanding. Most people know very little about whatever trade they're contracting out, which makes it easy for dishonest contractors to mislead customers.

The ugly

Some contractors lie, some do horrible work, and some fall short on their promises. Your home or property may be just another project to them - which is why it's so important to choose the right guy for the job!

what we want





When considering who to hire for your roofing project, you have several qualities you should look for in a potential contractor. Some of these qualities include:

1) Licensing

Roofing contractors must be licensed in your state. Licensing requirements vary from state to state, so you'll need to research the specific requirements in your area. In most states, roofers must be licensed before applying for a job through the internet or local office.


2) Years of Experience

The longer a roofing contractor has been in business, the more experience they've had. This experience can help them avoid potential pitfalls and make repairs quickly.


3) Workmanship Warranties

Take a look at some of the materials that they are recommending for your roofing replacement project. You can ask the contractor to show you the warranty on their materials and on their workmanship. If your contractor is unwilling to provide the warranty information for the material or for their work, that can be a sign that the construction of your new roof could be compromised over time and should prompt you to find another contractor.



What we don't want





There are some things that are an immediate red flag, when choosing a contractor:


1) Online Presence

If you cannot find any information about their company online, it's possible that they don't want people to be able to read into them.


2) Negative reviews

People are likely talking poorly about them, if they have done poor work for other customers. Pay attention to how neighbors talk about them, or ask around.


3) Lack of Knowledge

Ask them some questions and gauge their responses. If they cannot answer questions about the work they'll be doing, there is a possibility that they are inexperienced.

I would recommend this company to anyone for their roofing work. They did a great job replacing the roof on my house and workshop. Jamie Fortier did a fantastic job working with my insurance company to get my claims payed for and was relentless in his efforts
